afrouit TMlMlAVMttftN T1HUKSPW MA-Yt.9, 1912. THE HAWAIIAN STAR Published every afternoon (oxcept HwBpapor Association, Ltd., Star Dulldlng, Morchant Btroet, Honolulu. WALTER a, 8MITH THURSDAY AN EXPERT IN The clomicnt ncridcls of our spo'ndent in the field of mimic war, arc responsible if the idea shall prevail that the valiant. .Regulars have gone into the campaign for getting their guns and other lethal weapons. "There is," we arc assured "no pomp or panoply of warfare to be seen down round Tnncs ranch.". One maV understand why nomp should vanish, even from the drum major, in what the staff correspondent calls ' the grim nakedness of actual war," but how can the army of defence get along without its panoply? In the ancient days "panoply" meant the armor of a Grecian warrior, and in madiiuval times the "harness" of a Wimlit inrltiflinfr sword and shield : and now it applies to about all a soldier's fighting gear. Thus the . il . !a fnp pvcrntiiifr the mules, surgeons. Without it an army would be almost as crippled as a civilian reporter on military duty might be without a dictionary and a private tutor. Eloquence often puts a reader at a disadvantage when he is merely in search of plain facts; for eloquence lays stress on words and turns of phrases, rather than on so plebeian a thing as what actually-takes place. We read that "no one, as far as can be learned, dreamed of this battle game wnen tne mess gear sounuca ior DrcaKiasi yesterday morning." Almost anyone had a right to be confused in his mind, even a general who was about to be ordered around by a lieutenant colonel, when the mess gear began to sound for a meal. Here we almost hoped the epigrammatic point and sparkle of oratory could have mingled for a moment with instructive prose details. In the call to a breakfast did the coffee pot roar a tinny summons through the spout and the tin plates clash like cymbals in the country band? Did the tin coffee cups mingle in sounding the long roll and the steel knives and forks enliven the thrilling scene with then familiar call of the blood? These- articles all belong in the mess gear and yet the Advertiser's brilliant writer leaves us wholly in doubt as to how well they performed their new and more spirited functions. One can hope that, though inanimate, they did their warning duties as well, being of American make, as did the old fashioned back 'number geese who saved Rome. t But wc would do no injustice to the engaging war-writer, whose personality is unknown to us, but whose genius will always be recog nized on occasion, by denying him a gift of details. His eloquence sometimes comes to earth ; and we have this painstaking description of plain circumstances: As soon as the soldiers reached tho ranch, and even before i- they began to pitch their camp Colonel Wilder dispatched a mounted vldetto out the Walalua road with orders to report any signs of the "enemy" supposed to bo attacking the city of , Honolulu from that direction. Backing up his horse Colonel ' Rodgers, acting under command of Colonel Mansfield, sent out an outpost on the same road, with orders to keep their weather ' eyes lifting for that same "enemy," which by-the-bye for the purposes of this campaign In supposed to have landed on tho far side of Oahu, and Is marching eastward as fast as possible. Now here is the clear, plain and convincing military picture that we were looking for. Colonel Wilder suspected that the enemy was "attacking Honolulu," viaWaialua, so he sent a mounted man off Ik.' Hhat way to find out. He probably wanted to learn the numbers engaged in the "attack" and get r : nn ihp Wninln.T field: nlso whether teiennone or dv stace. considering . . . . 'i interesting thing. One colonel, acting under the corhmand of the other "backed up the horse" whether his own or the other colonel's we are left in doubt; and we cannot say whether the maneuver was intended to add to the defensive armament or show a clean pair of heels. Perhaps this point will be plainer m later correspondence. Following was an order to an "outpost" to support the mounted man ahead, notwithstanding the higher cost of living, and keep a "'weather : -eve ooen " While the weather eve of an outpost is a new device it ff is probably one of those things army and reference, to it must " t -H1..L! - - close ODservation anu attention 10 me iiiue uiiugs mat uuun ugui wi the whole tale.

Superintendent Pope was chairman and Miss Clara L. Zelg lor scfyetary.

Onco established th school could bolOIcS0,r MrB' ilcox a Miss McDon- mado self-supporting, with proceeds over to pay tho pupils something Ior their work. Mrs. Crclghton held that trade schools were better than prisons ond that there was a constant demand for sewing girls, cooks and housemaids which tho school could fill. Mrs. Carter said that tho directors of Kalulanl Homo had told her that $30,000 had been subscribed to build a lodging housei for working girls and that part of this fund would bo turn ed over to help along an Industrial school for girls. Dr. Scuddcr regarded tho educa tional system as unfair In providing for tho few rather than tho many. An Industrial scheme In connection i. . i , , . i with and following the, academic course would help all alike Tho hand must bo trained. Girls should taught tho arts of- home-making and the duties of motherhood. Bishop Rostarick maintained that an Industrial trade school could not be a success from an economic stand point, having to meet the competi tion of tho great factories on the mainland and that of Oriental choap labor horo and In tho Orient. It might be, different with, an agricultural school. Ho had known ot school-raised pigs having been sold for real money. Professor Scott regarded tho ques tion as not merely one of various sides but a round one, with a differ ent phase at every point of its cir cumference to bo considered. Races here wero unequally matched, the Ha waiian and the Porto RIcan standing no show when pitted against Orien tal workers. It was the wealthy peo ple who had brought the Chinese and Japanese) here, amassing large for tuned from their labor. Let them sup ply the funds for industrial schools. "The government has already too many demands upon it," said tho high school principal. "Our citizens ore philanthropic, and this is a grejit open ing for their "philanthropy. And when the schools aro established we shall have to deal with tho people accord ing to their racial differences. Only God can mako a race over again." W. A. Bowen considered that the whit element was as pestiferous a3 those of color, and that tho Hawaii an Bhould not bo saddled with all the odium of Idleness and vice. Miss Zlegler thought a mere factory school was not what was wanted. It was less money-making than Ideals that the girls should be taught. Teach them, self-reliance, self-respect, seit appreclatlon and justice. They ought to bfe taught home-making. President Gllmoro said there was r.cw a crying demand for mora work men In Honolulu, and Instanced the JC5.000 building for tho College of Hawaii. Tho contractor had told him he. needed thirty more men to finish the Job In contract time. There, was no competition here for young men willing to work who know how.
